The 2nd Sahra’s a la mode girl is coming your way May 2016 and her name is Twinkle a la mode Lapis Lazuli Yuzuha.
Azone International is not holding back with their newest Sahra’s a la mode series.
I get all giddy looking at both Twinkle a la mode girls: Maya & Yuzuha.
I really hope Azone keeps up this strong start.
2 amazing girls completed. 3 more beautiful girls left to go.
Lapis Lazuli Yuzuha's white skin looks amazing against her striking dark blue and gold outfit.

Similar to Maya, Azone is offering 2 versions of Yuzuha for your collection: one a regular release version and the other a Doll Show Commemorative version.
Both girls are simply stunning so you can't go wrong with either girl but obviously if you live outside of Japan & unable to attend Doll Show Asakusa your best bet is to try and get your hands on the regular release Yuzuha (she's wearing the dark blue & gold dress).
Pre-orders will start May 10, 2016 for the regular release Yuzuha.
Sales begins May 5, 2016 at the doll show for the Commemorative version Yuzuha
Plan right now how you'll keep yourself awake on the night of May 9th because if your eye lids close for even one second, you'll miss the pre-order and your opportunity to get Yuzuha.
I have an early appointment on May 10 and I "should" get to bed early on May 9th but that's not going to happen.
I'm staying up however late to "try" and get my hands on Yuzuha (please, don't sell-out before then).
According to Wikipedia Lapis Lazuli is a
And you can easily see the beautiful deep blue & golden colors on the regular release Yuzuha.
From her headband all the way to her tiny cute shoes the Lapis Lazuli color is present.
But we mustn't forget the stunning Azone Doll Show Commemorative ver. Yuzuha.
The doll show Yuzuha’s dress maybe mostly white but Azone has incorporated Lapis Lazuli throughout this version as well.
Again starting at the top of her head, Yuzuha's headband has a cute Lapis Lazuli gem on it and the shades of blue are seen throughout her delicate dress all the way to her tiny teeny shoes (simply adorable!)

These are beautiful dolls, but since I grabbed Sera of Green Gables and I’m aching for Mermaid Princess Minami, I will be passing on them. Otherwise, I might have otherwise tried to get the standard release.
As for stones I’d like to see, I’m not sure. Part of me would love to see them try to design a theme around some kind of opal: http://www.midnightsunopals.com/resources/ethiopian-opal-pattern-chart.jpg
It would certainly be challenging, but I imagine they would do a lovely job.
Hi Robyn,
It shouldn’t be too long for Mermaid Princess Minami.
I saw an image placeholder for her recently on Azone’s Akihabara Twitter feed.
Maybe Minami will be the next EX-Cute family to be announced.
Wow, there are a lot of beautiful Opals out there.
I agree with you, Azone would do a lovely job with this stone. If anyone can tackle such a colorful stone, Azone International would be the one 🙂
Hmm, I wonder which Sahra’s a la mode girl (Sahra, Alisa, Lycee) would pair well with Opal?
Hello!
So happy to finally see that girl! 😀 With one of my favorite gemstone! I think the regular version embodies the Lapis-Lazuli concept better than the white one( even if I like both versions!). In its most beautiful appareance Lapis-Lazuli is a very deep colored stone and I really like the shades of blue of the outfit and the subtilities of gold through the lace to recreate this. However I’m surprised to not see the white color anywhere on the regular version because the majority of Lapis-Lazuli stones get tiny lines of white beside glitters of gold. I’ve got one Lapis-Lazuli stone and we can clearly see three colors.
I’m maybe wrong because I can’t clearly see it but the stones used for the outfit of Yuzuha seem all blue… O.o Don’t seem to be Lapis-Lazuli stones for me :/ But once again the pictures are quite “small” so not very detailed.
Argh! So bad that the white version is a Doll Show exclusivity! T-T There is almost no chance to get her through eBay! What a cruel world!
Hello Anne-Sophie,
You are so awesome!
When I was reading Azone’s text about Lapis Lazuli Yuzuha this line “Deep blue and glittering white” kind of threw me for a loop.
I was looking at this image from Wikipedia and the blue & yellow caught my eye.
So, I was curious about the “glittering white.”
Thanks for pointing out that Lapis Lazuli has 3 colors: blue, gold, and white.
At least now the text makes more sense to me.
I agree, the regular release Yuzuha looks amazing and I’m super happy Azone didn’t make her the limited version.
This Sahra’s a la mode series is addictive 🙂
